CHAPTER 1

KNOW YOUR ORGANISATION

1.1 Organisation History

The Atomic Energy Act was enacted in the year 1948 with the
objective of providing for the development, control and use of
atomic energy for the welfare of the people of India and for other
peaceful purposes. In pursuance of the Act, the Atomic Energy
Commission was set up in August 1948. The Atomic Energy
Commission was entrusted with the responsibility of policy
making in the matter of atomic energy. It was later decided that
a separate Department, with full powers of a Ministry of the
Government of India, should be set up entrusting it with the
responsibility of development of atomic energy for peaceful
purposes. Thus, the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) came
into existence in August 1954 under the direct charge of the
Prime Minister.

The Atomic Energy Commission was reconstituted in 1958 with
full executive and financial powers. The major functions and
activities of the DAE are Nuclear Power Programme, Research and
Development, Industrial and Mineral Sector Development,
Regulation and Safety and the management of the Public Sector
Undertakings set up under DAE.

The responsibility for implementation of the Nuclear Power
Programme was entrusted to the erstwhile Power Projects
Engineering Division (PPED), which was later converted into the
Nuclear Power Board (NPB) and now, the Nuclear Power
Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL).

NPCIL was incorporated as a public limited company wholly
owned by the Government of India, under the Companies Act
1956 and commenced its business with effect from September 17,
1987.

The Company is managed by the Board of Directors. In forming
the Company in 1987, all the assets (with the exception of RAPS-
1) of NPB were transferred to NPCIL with 50 per cent of the value
of the assets being treated as equity and the remaining as loan in
perpetuity from the Government. RAPS-1, being the first
Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor, was retained by the
Government of India and this unit is being managed by NPCIL on
behalf of DAE.

The composition of the NPCIL Board of Directors is broad based.
It includes representatives from BARC, Central Electricity
- 6 -
Authority, Planning Commission, Ministry of Power, Ministry of
Environment and Forests etc. for effective interfacing with the
Power Sector as a whole in the country and also R&D sector of
DAE.

The Registered Office of the Company is at 16
th
Floor, Centre 1,
World Trade Centre, Cuffe Parade; Mumbai 400 005 and its
Corporate Office is at Nabhikiya Urja Bhavan and Vikram
Sarabhai Bhavan, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai 400 094. The
authorised share capital of the company is ` 15000 Crores and
paid up share capital is ` 10145 Crores. Total assets of the
Company are of ` 41,894 Crores and Net Worth ` 22162 Crores
as on 31.03.2011.

After formation of the Company, a massive programme of setting
up Nuclear Power Reactors was launched. A focussed approach
was adopted to have all-round improvement in operations and
maintenance, safety, finance, etc. which will also generate
internal surplus besides establishing the viability of nuclear
power as a long term strategy. NPCIL has gained significant
experience in setting up PHWRs and operating them. This
technology has achieved a state of maturity. With a view to
achieve faster capacity addition, widening the options and to be
able to access external funds, it was decided to launch 2 x 1000
MWe Units in co-operation with the Russian Federation. This
project is under construction at Kundankulam, Tamil Nadu.
With the commissioning of RAPS 6, number of nuclear power
reactors in commercial operation in the country, has increased to
nineteen (19) with a total installed capacity 4560 MWe. With
nineteen reactors, India has joined group of the USA, France,
Japan, Russian Federation, Republic of Korea and United
Kingdom in terms of number of reactors in operation. Out of
total capacity of 4560 MWe, 1180 MWe capacity from six reactors
(units 1 to 6) is at single site at Rawatbhata, Rajasthan.

DAEs Vision 2020 envisages setting up 20000 MWe installed
capacity by the year 2020. However, the current thinking is to
have a far higher installed capacity by that date in the wake of
the increased international co-operation for accelerating the
nuclear power programme of the country. There are, thus, great
opportunities unfolding before the Company.

1.2 Core Business

The Core Business of NPCIL is power generation through nuclear
technology at its nuclear power reactors located across India.
The power is fed into the regional grids and is shared by various
States as per the allocation done by the Ministry of Power,
Government of India and agreement with beneficiary States.

CHAPTER 8

CAREER GROWTH AND PROGRESSION

8.1 Scientific and Technical Employees

The Scientific and Technical personnel are covered by the Merit
Promotion Scheme of the Department of Atomic Energy. Salient
features of the Scheme are as follows:

The tables given below indicate the minimum residency period
in the lower grades for consideration for promotion to next
higher grades. The residency period depends on the grading of
e-APAR. The table below indicates the minimum eligibility for
an employee with highest overall grading.

The rationalized date of annual increment is 1
st
July. All
promotions are also rationalised from this date. In the initial
year of recruitment if the employee completes 6 months of
service as on 1
st
July it will be treated as one year for the
purpose of increment as well as calculating the eligibility
period for promotion.

A Scientific Assistant who has acquired the additional
qualification of AMIE/BE with minimum 60% marks with prior
approval may be considered for promotion as Technical Officer
of appropriate grade on passing the departmental qualifying
examination (DQE) with prescribed percentage of marks in
limited number of attempts with prescribed e-APAR grading.
Only one chance shall be given for appearing in the interview.
A similar provision is available to Technicians for promotion as
Scientific Assistant on acquiring the Diploma in Engineering in
the relevant field.


Change of track from Technicians to Supervisory grades

Technicians (in the grades of D,F,G,H&J) may also be
considered for change of track to supervisory grades at the
time of consideration for promotion to next higher grade
depending on the recommendations from the Section Heads
and assessment by the selection committee about his fitness
for the supervisory capacity. Thus the selection committee
may recommend his promotion to next higher grade or
promotion to next higher grade with change of track or defer
his promotion.

CHAPTER - 11

VIGILANCE

Dos and Donts - General Conduct

Dos

1 Always remember that you are a public servant. As a public
servant you are expected to perform public duties and enhance
public well-being.

2 Understand the implications of the words - Conduct, Misconduct
and Criminal Misconduct. Conduct means the general and
uniform behaviour that is expected of a public servant by the
employer. Misconduct attracts departmental action against the
public servant, charged with it. Criminal misconduct means
misconduct as defined in Section 13 of the Prevention of
Corruption Act, 1988, which also amounts to an offence under
the Indian Penal Code.

3 Always spread the message that corruption and malpractices by
public servants directly or indirectly cost the country heavily.

4 Always do your best to combat corrupt practices.

5 Do understand that Liberalisation of the economy does not imply
liberalisation of corruption. Liberalisation and corruption often
go together, as amply demonstrated in some advanced as well as
third world countries. To ensure speedy decision-making in the
new environment, make specific suggestions for liberalisation of
cumbersome rules and procedures and then function within the
framework of these rules.
6 Always remember that you are an employee of NPCIL the only
nuclear power generating industry in the country. In whatever
you do, or have to do, please keep not only the NPCIL flag flying
high, but take it further to commanding heights.
7 Always keep in mind the NPCIL Vision, Mission and Objectives.
Each and every employee of the organisation has to contribute
his/her best through highest standards of integrity, dedication,
commitment, competence and impartiality in a free, fair, fearless
and dispassionate manner.

8 Always create a "Vigilance Friendly" environment in the
organisation, through your own positive, transparent, fair and
timely actions.

9 Always be cost-conscious, cost-effective and plug all pilferages,
wastes and leakages, to reduce the per unit generating cost to be
- 106 -
really competitive. Initially, such actions may irritate, but in the
long run they pay pride & prosperity to all.
10 Always take prompt and firm action to bring the corrupt to book.
This will enhance the moral health of the organisation, give extra
impetus to the honest and keep the corrupt few under constant
pressure. Those on the fence will jump over to your side.

11 Always remember that as an executive/employee of NPCIL your
duties are to manage men, money, materials, machines and
methods in an economic, efficient, effective, excellent and
equitable manner.

12 Your actions and decisions in official matters and dealings with
co-employees should be such, as a person of ordinary prudence
would usually take in ones own personal business affairs.

13 Always keep your image both in public and in the organisation as
that of an honest, just, reasonable, fair and friendly public
servant.

14 Always observe normal courtesies in dealing with the public,
subordinates and colleagues.

15 Always take prompt action to redress the complaints or
grievances of the people, wherever possible. If you have to say no
to somebody, say the same very politely, but firmly.

16 Always think that you are a vigilance officer & take all possible
steps to ensure the integrity and devotion to duty.

17 Acquaint yourself well with the basic law of the land, respect the
laws and observe them, both in letter and spirit. Remember that
ignorance of law cannot be an excuse.

18 Familiarise yourself with the rules, regulations, policies,
guidelines, procedures, practices and functions prescribed by
NPCIL.

19 In case of non existence of written instructions or procedural
guidelines about certain types of work/functions to be performed
in your unit and the same are being carried out as per certain
practices, it would be desirable to make a humble beginning to
streamline those through written procedures.

20 Always keep a good conscience and stick to it.

21 Always think well before acting, but when the time of action
comes, stop thinking and start acting, for action is the expression
of your thoughts.
- 107 -

22 Always behave cogently, gently, amply, kindly, friendly, cheerfully
and boldly. Behave with others the way you expect others to
behave with you.

23 Always encourage your juniors & subordinates to do their best.
The inner-most expectation of every human being is the "craving
to be appreciated".

24 Admit the errors committed by you gracefully, instead of trying to
pass on the responsibility to others.

25 Always use the Delegation of Powers judiciously. Vigilance would
not question the use of such discretionary powers, unless there is
clear evidence of abuse or misuse of such powers in a malafide
way.

26 In respect of powers vested in you, a committee may be
constituted to evaluate, negotiate, purchase etc. wherever you
consider it necessary. Such committee is to assist you in taking a
proper decision. Appointment of a committee does not amount to
abdication of your responsibility as the Competent Authority.
Whereas each member of such a committee is jointly and
severally responsible for its recommendations, the responsibility
for the final decision rests on you

27 Some deviations from the laid down procedures might have to be
made occasionally, due to sudden, emergent requirements.
Whenever you are departing from the existing instructions or
taking recourse to emergency measures or situations, kindly
record the nature of emergency and the reasons for deviations
logically and systematically. If you are not the Competent
Authority, bring your record notes to the immediate notice of the
Competent Authority for information and approval on ex-post
facto basis. Existence of such contemporary record is your safest
insurance against Vigilance, CR1 case or other such cases.

28 Please make surprise and periodical visits to work sites, to check
works in progress, stores etc. On the spot recording of
inconsistencies, if any, keeps the juniors & subordinates not only
on their toes, but also prevents inferior quality in works/supplies,
other irregularities and pilferage.

29 Always make a habit to record the minutes of a meeting at the
earliest possible, preferably within 48 hours of the conduct of
such meetings. The minutes should be circulated to all concerned
positively within a week of holding such meetings.

- 108 -
30 Always date your initials or signatures fully. It might save you
from some possible future embarrassments.

31 Always follow scrupulously the Conduct Rules / Standing Orders
as laid down by the NPCIL.

32 The Conduct Rules are the uniform guidelines and are not only
for keeping the management informed about the personal
acquisitions, disposals etc. of the employees: but are also meant
for their protection against allegations made by unscrupulous
persons. The disclosures made or permission obtained at
appropriate time, as required under the Conduct Rules which will
even provide you protection against unnecessary allegations at a
later date. Always comply with the requirement of permission or
intimation under the Conduct Rules.

33 Maintain absolute integrity at all times. A man of integrity will
never listen to any plea against conscience and is always
accepted, believed, trusted and befriended by all.

34 Always submit a statement of your Immovable and Movable
property on your first appointment. Please remember that
possession of assets disproportionate to your known/legal
sources of income is an offence and your property return is going
to help you tremendously, in case you face any allegations of
corruption.

35 Report all transactions of movable property beyond the prescribed
value to the Prescribed Authority, within the prescribed time limit
of the transaction. Obtain prior sanction of the Competent
Authority if such transaction is with a person or firm having
official dealings with you.

36 Intimate the Prescribed Authority about all transactions of
Immovable Property before entering into such transactions.
Obtain prior sanction of the Competent Authority if such
transaction is with a person or firm having official dealings with
you.

37 Please submit the Annual Immovable Property Return as on 1st
January of that year. notwithstanding the fact that the return
may be a Nil one. Please make sure that your statement has
reached the Competent Authority and you have obtained the
acknowledgment for the same. Keep this acknowledgment safely
and securely with you.

38 Wherever your son, daughter or any member of your family or
any other close relative accepts an employment with any private
firm with which you have official dealings or with any firm having
- 109 -
official dealings with the Company. Where the acceptance of the
employment cannot await the prior permission of the Competent
Authority, the employment may be accepted provisionally, subject
to the permission of the Competent Authority.

39 Always contact your official superior in case of your relatives is
interested in any case or in a contract or in any other matter
connected directly or indirectly with your official duties.

40 Always obtain the previous sanction of the Competent Authority
before you participate in a radio broadcast or contribute any
article or write any letter, either in your own name or
anonymously, pseudonymously or in the name of any other
person to any newspaper or periodical, unless you are satisfied
that such a contribution is purely literary or artistic in nature.

41 Pay personal and particular attention to compliance of Rules and
Procedures; it is an effective method of preventive vigilance.

42 Keep on assessing the strength and weaknesses of the Internal
Control Mechanism: this is the surest way to reduce
malpractices.

43 Pay surprise and frequent visits to the places visited by the
public: it will give you a good feedback of the happenings.

44 Remember always that corruption starts in a small way: it would
thus be wise to press the brake in the initial stage itself.

45 Remember always that vigilance is the function of all employees
having supervisory responsibility; not of Vigilance Department
alone.

46 Regard Vigilance Man as your friend, philosopher and guide and
extend him your whole-hearted co-operation.

47 Remember, problems start where vigilance ends.

Donts

1. Dont be arbitrary and illogical in your decisions. The decisions
should be justifiable on all counts.

2. Dont delay the decisions and/or movement of files. Delay creates
doubt and breeds corruption. Even innocent delays create
suspicion in the mind of the people.

3. Dont mix with the contractors and suppliers having dealings with
you or your Company and also do not accept hospitality.
- 110 -
Otherwise it can create suspicions in the minds of public, your
colleagues and subordinates, about your integrity; and could
result in avoidable complaints.

4. Do not mix up your personal and official business as far as
possible. If it is unavoidable, particularly while on tour, avail
casual leave and do not claim Daily Allowance.

5. Dont delay submission of your TA Bills. These should be
submitted carefully. Any excuse that wrong Daily Allowance has
been claimed, as the bill was prepared by the Private Secretary, is
not acceptable.

6. Dont deal with firms which do not give full and complete address
or detailed particulars. Go into antecedents of such firms
wherever required. Verify bonafides of the firms which furnish
addresses like "C/o Post Box Number.

7. Do not be bigamous. Even if you are permitted by your personal
law to marry while your spouse is living, you would be violating
the Conduct Rules by such marriage, unless you have taken
written permission of the Competent Authority and that such a
marriage has also got legal sanction.

8. Every employee should avoid monetary transactions either
directly or through members of his/her family, which places
him/her under pecuniary obligation to any person with whom
he/she has or is likely to have official dealings.

9. Do not be brash in saying no to anybody for any undue request
made by him/her. Try to learn the art of saying no politely, but
firmly. A soft answer always turns away the wrath.

10. Never use your position or influence directly or indirectly to
secure employment for any person related to you, whether by
blood or marriage, or to your wife or husband, irrespective of
whether such a person is dependent on you or not.

11. Do not yield to temptation or run after petty gains; it does not pay
ultimately.

12. Do not live beyond your means; it may be tempting but
dangerous.

13. Do not make any attempt to flout or circumvent or short-circuit
the Rules or Regulations, to suit vested interests; it may cost you
heavily in the long run.

- 111 -
14. Do not take any obligation in any form from anyone; it may
boomerang.

15. Do not lean too heavily on your superiors as also subordinates: it
may prove costly.

16. Do not allow your family members to use your name for personal
gains; it can ruin your reputation. Do not fail to remember
reputation once gone is not retrievable.

17. Do not canvass in support of any business of insurance agency,
commission agency etc., owned or managed by any member of
your family.

18. Do not use your influence for securing any advantage for yourself
or anyone related to or known to you; it does not speak well of
you.

19. Dont exceed your powers - financial and administrative, except in
an emergency, it is irregular and gives rise to suspicion.

20. Avoid getting influenced by personal likes and dislikes, whims
and prejudices while disposing of the files or cases.

21. Do not relax while you are on supervision duties; this may bring
trouble for you and your Company.

(For a comprehensive list please refer to Dos and Donts for Officers
and Supervisors published by the Directorate of Vigilance.)
